[length: 09:23]
[00:20.08]Tell you a thing
[00:22.33]That you ought to know
[00:25.03]Two minutes of your time
[00:27.58]Then on you go
[00:29.86]Tell tale of the men
[00:32.52]All dressed in black
[00:34.97]That most of them
[00:37.32]Not coming back
[00:40.26]Sent off to the war
[00:42.50]To play little games
[00:45.07]And on their return
[00:47.33]Can’t name no names
[00:50.06]Some strange yellow gas
[00:52.56]Has played with their minds
[00:54.91]Has reddened their eyes
[00:57.59]Removed all the lies
[01:00.03]And strange as it sounds
[01:02.52]Death knows no bounds
[01:05.07]How many get well
[01:07.32]Only time will tell
[01:11.42]
[01:27.23]Only time will tell
[01:33.23]
[03:21.24]You lie in your death bed now
[03:23.93]But what did you bring to the table
[03:26.79]Brought us only holy sin
[03:29.29]Utter trust is a deadly thing
[03:32.09]To the prayer of holy peace
[03:34.86]We didn’t know what was lying underneath
[03:37.76]So how could we be such fools
[03:40.43]And to think that we thought you the answer
[03:44.44]I can’t begin to understand in all the lies
[03:49.94]But on your death bed I can see it in your eyes
[03:55.42]Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow
[04:00.87]It really makes sense I can see it clearly now
[04:05.08]Tangled up in a web of lies
[04:07.80]Could have been a way to prophesise
[04:10.34]Unaware of the consequence
[04:12.90]Not aware of the secrets that you kept
[04:15.67]Nothing that we could believe
[04:18.36]To reveal the façade of faceless men
[04:21.07]Not a thing that we could foresee
[04:23.77]Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
[04:27.03]You had us all strung out with
[04:30.20]Promises of peace
[04:33.43]But all along you cover plan was to deceive
[04:38.50]Can it put to rights now only time will tell
[04:43.92]Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well
[04:47.93]Left to all our golden sons
[04:50.54]All to pick up on the peace
[04:53.14]You could have given all of them
[04:55.81]A little chance… at least
[04:58.46]Take the world to a better place
[05:01.38]Given them all just a little hope
[05:03.76]Just think what a legacy
[05:06.19]You now… will leave
[05:12.19]
[06:43.07]We seem destined to live in fear
[06:45.45]And some that would say Armageddon is near
[06:49.58]But where there’s a life – well there’s hope
[06:52.34]That man won’t self destruct
[06:56.12]Why can’t we treat our fellow man
[06:58.62]With more respect and a shake of their hands
[07:02.68]But anger and loathing is rife
[07:05.07]The death on all sides is
[07:06.94]Becoming a way of life
[07:09.16]We live in an uncertain world
[07:11.55]Fear, understanding and ignorance
[07:14.14]Is leading to death
[07:15.70]Only the corpses are left
[07:17.86]For vultures that prey on their bones
[07:22.86]
[07:34.71]But some are just not wanting peace
[07:37.27]Their whole life is death and misery
[07:41.13]The only thing that they know
[07:43.78]Fight fire with fire life is cheap
[07:47.61]But if they do stop to think
[07:50.14]That man is teetering right on the brink
[07:54.12]But do you think that they care
[07:56.41]They benefit from death and pain and despair
